Watch: Crazy scenes! Fans storm Bengaluru roads after RCB’s win over CSK to enter playoffs | Cricket News

It has never happened in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that a team lost seven of its first eight matches in the league phase of a season and still goes on to book a place in the playoffs. But Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) created that history on Saturday when they spoiled Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) party. And the scenes that unfolded after that on the streets in Bengaluru showed what it meant to the local fans.
After putting up a commendable 218 for 5 on the board, thanks to contributions across the batting chart led by skipper Faf du Plessis’s 39-ball 54 on a difficult M Chinnaswamy track, RCB limited CSK to 191 for 7 for a 27-run win.

But that’s not the entire story, CSK required to reach 201 and would have still made it to the playoffs, but RCB paceman Yash Dayal (2/43) held his nerves in the final over of the match to limit the five-time champions.
It took RCB’s points tally to 14, the same as CSK, but the Bengaluru outfit leapfrogged CSK in the net run-rate column to finish fourth.

It sparked celebrations on the field as an emotional Virat Kohli, and his wife Anushka Sharma in the stands, shed tears of joy.
After that emotional party inside the ground, fans stormed the streets of Bengaluru to celebrate the win, and the video clips of those crazy scenes broke the internet overnight.
